its own FlutterEngine instance. This comes with a |
non-trivial initialization time. The alternative approach |
is to instruct FlutterActivity to use a pre-warmed, |
cached FlutterEngine, which minimizes Flutter’s |
initialization time. That approach is discussed next.<topic_end> |
<topic_start> |
Step 3: (Optional) Use a cached FlutterEngine |
Every FlutterActivity creates its own FlutterEngine |
by default. Each FlutterEngine has a non-trivial |
warm-up time. This means that launching a standard |
FlutterActivity comes with a brief delay before your Flutter |
experience becomes visible. To minimize this delay, |
you can warm up a FlutterEngine before arriving at |
your FlutterActivity, and then you can use |
your pre-warmed FlutterEngine instead.To pre-warm a FlutterEngine, find a reasonable |
location in your app to instantiate a FlutterEngine. |
The following example arbitrarily pre-warms a |
FlutterEngine in the Application class: |
<code_start>public class MyApplication extends Application { |
public FlutterEngine flutterEngine; |
@Override |
public void onCreate() { |
super.onCreate(); |
// Instantiate a FlutterEngine. |
flutterEngine = new FlutterEngine(this); |
// Start executing Dart code to pre-warm the FlutterEngine. |
flutterEngine.getDartExecutor().executeDartEntrypoint( |
DartEntrypoint.createDefault() |
); |
// Cache the FlutterEngine to be used by FlutterActivity. |
FlutterEngineCache |
.getInstance() |
.put("my_engine_id", flutterEngine); |
} |
}<code_end> |
<code_start>class MyApplication : Application() { |
lateinit var flutterEngine : FlutterEngine |
override fun onCreate() { |
super.onCreate() |
// Instantiate a FlutterEngine. |
flutterEngine = FlutterEngine(this) |
// Start executing Dart code to pre-warm the FlutterEngine. |
flutterEngine.dartExecutor.executeDartEntrypoint( |
DartExecutor.DartEntrypoint.createDefault() |
) |
// Cache the FlutterEngine to be used by FlutterActivity. |
FlutterEngineCache |
.getInstance() |
.put("my_engine_id", flutterEngine) |
} |
}<code_end> |
The ID passed to the FlutterEngineCache can be whatever you want. |
Make sure that you pass the same ID to any FlutterActivity |
or FlutterFragment that should use the cached FlutterEngine. |
Using FlutterActivity with a cached FlutterEngine |
is discussed next.info Note |
To warm up a FlutterEngine, you must execute a Dart |
entrypoint. Keep in mind that the moment |
executeDartEntrypoint() is invoked, |
your Dart entrypoint method begins executing. |
If your Dart entrypoint invokes runApp() |
to run a Flutter app, then your Flutter app behaves as if it |
were running in a window of zero size until this |
FlutterEngine is attached to a FlutterActivity, |
FlutterFragment, or FlutterView. Make sure that your app |
behaves appropriately between the time you warm it up and |
the time you display Flutter content.With a pre-warmed, cached FlutterEngine, you now need |
to instruct your FlutterActivity to use the cached |
FlutterEngine instead of creating a new one. |
To accomplish this, use FlutterActivity’s withCachedEngine() |
builder: |
<code_start>myButton.addOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { |
@Override |
public void onClick(View v) { |
startActivity( |
FlutterActivity |
.withCachedEngine("my_engine_id") |
.build(currentActivity) |
); |
} |
});<code_end> |
<code_start>myButton.setOnClickListener { |
startActivity( |
FlutterActivity |
.withCachedEngine("my_engine_id") |
.build(this) |
) |
}<code_end> |
When using the withCachedEngine() factory method, |
pass the same ID that you used when caching the desired |
FlutterEngine.Now, when you launch FlutterActivity, |
there is significantly less delay in |
the display of Flutter content.info Note |
When using a cached FlutterEngine, that FlutterEngine outlives any |
FlutterActivity or FlutterFragment that displays it. Keep in |
mind that Dart code begins executing as soon as you pre-warm the |
FlutterEngine, and continues executing after the destruction of your |
FlutterActivity/FlutterFragment. To stop executing and clear resources, |
obtain your FlutterEngine from the FlutterEngineCache and destroy the |
FlutterEngine with FlutterEngine.destroy().info Note |
